Now, if bits of cork or chaff, or any floating substance, be put into a basin, and a circular motion be given to the water, all the light substances will be
found crowding together near the center of the pool, where there is the least motion. Just such a basin is the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf Stream, and the Sargasso Sea is the centre of the
whirl.

Matthew F. Maury, The Physical Geography of the Sea and Its Meteorology, 1861

It is named after the Sargasso Sea. It is there that both the American & European eel comes to spawn. Located in the center of the North Atlantic vertebra huge
carpets of century-old seaweed merge with the plastic waste products of our culture. So dense & vast are these mats of seaweed & garbage that they appear to form their own
sub-continent.

The Sargossa Sea is the only sea in the world with no fixed shoreline & no port. It has been home to ghost ships & pirates. The early navigators of the
Columbus-era considered it the end of the world.

SARGASSO magazine aims to be a place of cultural cross-fertilization - a shared road map leading to Terra Incognita.
